Hold me closer "tinydanster"

So my URL is a poorly thought of pun on the famous Elton John song. Don't judge. You know you like it. Let me explain...

Elton John song="Tiny Dancer".
I wouldn't call myself "tiny" per se but I do like to dance.
Some people call me "the danster".
"danster"~"dancer".
~ means similar.

Still don't get it? Stop reading my blog.
Get it and think it's stupid? I know it's weak--laugh now and forever hold your peace (or give me a better suggestion).

So...

I have finally achieved my first success as an Aunt. My niece (from now on, will be referred to as "the child" or "the kid" or etc.) loves The Sandlot. Her favorite line is the best line in the movie--"you're killin' me Smalls!" My job is done. Great success. High five.

If you don't want to hear stories about my niece, lo siento. She pretty much is the love of my life and is the cutest little person on the planet. In turn, most of my funny stories involve her.

Now I shall leave you with the stupid comment of the week. It may not always be stupid...it might be ignorant or some other ridiculous term.

Long story short...

A person, who I will refrain from identifying, picked up a certain newspaper to look at a certain article. The person flipped the paper over and a different headline caught this person's eye. The headline referred to something along the lines of President Obama blaming BP for the oil spill and encouraging the company take more responsibility. Regardless of whether or not you like our President, there is nothing wrong with this headline. No problem, right? Wrong according to this person...this person threw the paper down, huffed and puffed, and then said, "Well that Obama just has to blame someone else for everything, doesn't he? Now he is blaming BP for the oil spill." Because of the situation, I HAD to hold my tongue. I wish I could have called this person out on the ignorance. BP SHOULD take responsibility. It was obvious plain hatred that made those words come out of his/her mouth...I just have to laugh now. Ignorance is NOT bliss...it just makes you look dumb.

Some people should just not talk...or reproduce.

That is all. :-D
